S.C. Heerenveen is a Dutchfootball club currently playing in the Eredivisie, the Dutch Premier Division.
The club is located in the town of Heerenveen, the Netherlands. Its status in the European football scene may be inconsequential but this club has achieved something of a phenomenal standard when they managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2000/2001 season, having secured 2nd position in the Eredivisie in the 1999/2000 season since it is a small club by European standards. Having played in European football cup competitions for many seasons, this club can be seen as the only club within the Eredivisie to actually challenge the top triumvirate of PSV, Feyenoord and Ajax for dominance.
The crest on the club emblem is the symbol of the Frisian flag where the club is located and every home game at the Abe Lenstra stadium is preceded with the Frisian anthem.
